Florida Crushes No. 4 Ole Miss; Iowa Stuns Michigan at the Buzzer
Florida delivered a statement with a 52-28 rout of Ole Miss, while Iowa provided the drama with a last-second 20-19 victory over Michigan in Ann Arbor.
Upset in Louisville, History in Columbus
Wake Forest stunned No. 16 Louisville with a dramatic late blocked field goal, while Jeremiah Smith delivered a historic four-touchdown performance for Ohio State. Two games, two statements—and Saturday was just getting started.
Ole Miss Had the Last Word
Lane Kiffin returned to Oxford with LSU and erased a 17-point Ole Miss lead, but the Rebels refused to let his homecoming become his celebration. Trinidad Chambliss delivered the decisive response as Ole Miss beat LSU 32-24.
Texas Took It from Ohio State
Texas looked finished after three quarters. Then the Longhorns erased a 20-point deficit with 21 unanswered points to stun No. 1 Ohio State 24-23 and deliver an early statement to the college football world.
Oregon Has a Problem
Oregon’s shaky opener against Boise State looked like a warning. A 39–31 loss to Oklahoma State made it a trend. The Ducks are 1–1 and suddenly facing serious questions about a team that entered the season with national-title expectations.
Michigan Answered the Question
One week after barely surviving Western Michigan, Michigan responded with a 17–10 win over No. 11 Oklahoma. The Wolverines answered the biggest question surrounding them with a ranked victory and a much stronger defensive performance.
